Lentils have a wonderful earthy flavor to them and can be added to soups and salads all year long.
To our surprise, a lentil salad like this one is loaded with vitamins, folate, iron, and fiber too! If you ask me, I feel lentils are underrated as legumes and we should be eating more lentils these days.
The best part, this lentil salad is very versatile and very easy to make. They’re cooked in a short amount of time, and you can toss them with just about anything your heart desires.
The sweet colorful peppers are easily chopped into tiny pieces along with red onion to give this salad some texture, color, and flavor.
We love lentils in soups but never imagined having them in a salad, until now. Making a lentil salad like this one is refreshingly different!
Lentil Salad with Sweet Peppers can be served alone or served as a side to compliment an entree like chicken or fish and you’ll have a terrific meal! Great to pack and take with you to work for lunch too. Try this lentil salad!

Lentils are so protein-rich; it's great to have another tasty recipe for them.
I love those mini sweet peppers–the flecks of yellow, red, and orange are so appealing in the salad.
Bean salads are high on my list of perfect lunch foods lately and this one looks super fabulous!
